Posted:13th Feb 2004It seems like there's a run of folks bumping up extremely old posts, which is fine and all. But if you do bump up an old post it would be nice to somehow let others know. (I know one can just look at dates)

It's confusing that folks are just picking up where others left off 2 years ago in the middle of the conversation without making a note of that fact. Most people on old posts are no longer with us, yet people are conversing with them as if the conversation is concurrent. Some of my old comments are no longer relevant (especially asking for help with moves that I've got now and such!) and it would be nice to reemphasis the fact that they are old.

I think it's great that people are ressurecting ancient but relevant issues, but please indicate that you're doing so and why.

Posted:13th Feb 2004Nope... not referring to any in particular. There have been at least 10 threads that have been dead for over a year that have been bumped recently. I bumped one myself but at least made a note that I was bumping it.

Posted:13th Feb 2004hey mate ima waiting for that day when i can ressurrect this thread with an untimely bump!...erm with the proper indication that it's old, o'course!sorry if bumping dib's old thread caused confusion - i just really needed the advice and thought it would be nice to reshare her contribution thanks for clarifying this bit of hop policy, oh NYC!

Posted:15th Feb 2004Think I might well have done that numberous times, just due to not paying attention to the dates enough - so apologies, I plead ignorance! And will try not to do it without warning.
